Allow to create relative symlinks
Use cases
An absolute symlink becomes invalid if a filesystem tree is moved/copied to another location.
(Followup from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698793)
Desired behavior
If I understand correct, Nautilus's context menu item "Make Link" always creates an absolute symlink. Please create relative symlinks by default, if source and target are on the same volume, or maybe provide a suitable dialogue. In this case a 3rd option would be fine: offer a hardlink.
Benefits of the solution
Keep links valid if a filesystem tree is moved/copied to another location.
Possible drawbacks
If the default will be changed, old users may be irritated.
